Foul-mouthed rebel with too many causes probably. David Bowie and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy are the closest things I have to religion. Breast cancer survivor. Neurospicy and extra stretchy. I have a kind heart and a mean right cross.

Ready to go.

Get ready to #standupforscience in 2.5 weeks!

Good thoughts

I can’t muster much sympathy here.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

If you need a lift today, this is sweet.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

If you’re not terrified and enraged, you’re not paying attention.

Federal contractors work for the Federal Government and Federal employees. No one elected Rocket Boy. Congress holds the purse strings for new Federal offices or agencies. DOGE doesn’t actually exist! No contractor owes jack shit cooperation to Rocket Boy, his band of Lost Boys, or DOGE.

This seems important

NEW: It's not just coders. DOGE is filled with lawyers, elite attorneys with conservative credentials. We have new names: www.propublica.org/article/elon...

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

Damn. No notes, honestly.

Remember which Senators vote to bring back polio

Are we awake yet?

“Yes, the Republicans control the House and the Senate, but don’t forget, their majorities are small. In the House, a body of 435 members, they currently have a three-vote majority. That is a razor-thin margin and their legislation can be defeated or modified — if we fight back. …

Sure. We can start there.

Right wing “Christians” are attacking bishops who call for mercy, defending or giving Nazi salutes, and giddily cheering for deportations, all while continuing to pretend that THEY are the ones who are being persecuted. Damn them all to Hell.

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.

Btw the TikTok Live I'm watching is someone playing a VHS tape of the final episode of MASH

In the days ahead, do not turn away from what happens. Witness and record. Do not let history be overwritten. Pay attention and be safe.
